Ahoi-Ahoi

Not our hotel in Emden.
This was in the heart of the "lille city", by the marketplace.
 
On we went...
 

 "The East Frisian - Brekkie Café Restaurant" - not our hotel, either.
And yes. You see that correctly...
 
 
Ingo not only wears the proper hat.
Also the darn pipe. 
Let us hope he quits for good, as promised.
 
This certainly is for Tom´s Signs2.
 
And to join Elizabeth with recycling: THIS was our lille hotel a bit outside:
 
 
Yes, they have such funny names there, Faldernpoort..
A Poort is where the industrial ships roll in (as far as I know).
 
I tried watercolor on this. Worked, don´t you think? A bit?
 
Other... sign of bad karma.
Last "holiday": First flu of my life, off and out 5 weeks.
Now: hamstring tear. Hurts like hell. Happy Easter.
Hope Ingo´s new doc sees me. It really hurts. Bad firsts I could let go of...

Yes, bring in the goodies, ole pal!

What a great idea to draw on the napkin Iris. That is really clever; I haven't seen one on AJJ like that ever. Your lighthouse looks lovely. I'm glad you shared this with us at AJJ for Elizabeth's (and Bleubeard's) challenge. Hope your week is going well. hugs-Erika

Tom said...

...Iris, great minds think alike, we both were thinking about boats. Take care and have a wonderful day.

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, oh?Well, I didn´t know WHAT do do exactly with the napkin, but I took it with me for joining you :-)
Hugs

Cool signs, get well soon!

Iris Flavia said...

magiceye, thank you - it´s a bit better already, a bit...

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Goodness, Iris. So sorry to read about your injury. I hope you can see Ingo's doctor.

those signs are unique, but lovely.

Just a fun way to recycle a napkin. Such a lovely watercolor drawing, too. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey using Bleubeard's and my theme.

Hamstring, too??? Oh, hope the doc can see you right away.

Christine said...

good watercolour, sorry you were sick.

Iris Flavia said...

Elizabeth I must´ve been a bad person in my last life ;-)
Doctor took me in but said it can take a day or two till the med works...

The napkin´s theme was easy with where it came from :-)
Thank you for the motivation!

But things could be worse, right...

RedPat said...

Your lighthouse is wonderful, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you! :-)

Bill said...

Nice signs and a beautiful lighthouse drawing. Take it easy, hope the hamstring gets better fast.

I see more cigarwette smokers than traditional pipe smokers here. Glad I quit 12 years ago, it's so expensive now and not good for your health.

Jeanie said...

Not a hamstring tear! That's awful and sending all good wishes. I do love your watercolor lighthouse!

Cloudia said...

Thank you for sharing this trip to the shore!

Iris Flavia said...

Bill, thank you. It´s a bit better :-)

____

Amy, I had to "calculate", 11 years an ex-smoker here - yippeee, right?

____

Jeanie, yes. Not my year so far, health-wise... but on the way up!

____

Cloudia, you´re welcome!

Captain Ingo looks good! He just needs a ship. Your watercolour turned out well, I like it.
Hamstring? That's in the leg, not the arm.

Iris Flavia said...

I wish the pic was without the darn pipe!!!
google translate put hamstring in in general. Ack, AI is not that intelligent after all, is it?

I hope you feel better soon Iris! Your holiday looks interesting and I love your painting(what a great idea to use the napkin!)! Thanks so much for sharing at AJJ. Hugs, Chrisx

Iris Flavia said...

Chris, I´m all better, thank you! :-)
I love the new challenge, too, hugs to you!

nwilliams6 said...

Fun pictures and fun painting/recycling, Iris. Great idea too. I am so glad you are all better (saw what you commented back to Chris). Take care and hugz

Hi Iris, I'm playing at AJJ this month too and visiting around. I think your watercoloring the napkin's image was very clever and turned out great. Hope you are feeling better by now, xoxo
